I usually use the node-static module (
https://github.com/cloudhead/node-static) for serving static files; I've
had good success with it so far.
I usually put all the static files in a tree of folders underneath one
'public' folder, but I suppose you could call it 'assets' or whatever you
like.
For instance, to serve all JSON requests dynamically and to serve
everything else as static files, you could do something like this:
var static = require('node-static');
var fileServer = new static.Server('./public', { cache: false });
http.createServer(function(req, res) {
if (req.url.test(/\.json$/i)) {
// serve JSON requests dynamically here
}
else {
// serve everything else statically
fileServer.serve(req, res);
}
}).listen(8080);
Of course, it's even easier if you're using a framework like Express, which
has a static file server built-in, but if you prefer "small and sharp"
modules, I recommend node-static (though I'm sure there are other
high-quality options out there too, like https://github.com/isaacs/st).
